Intimate Portraits. In Bed with Michelle & Brett.

They shook my world gently and turned it upside down. As if nothing happened … yet seeing the world through their eyes would make anyone’s head spin and learn to see the world in vivid, strangely recognizable colors.  Michelle & Brett will always have a piece of my heart…

Their passion for life and each other is unapologetic, pure, and intense. Their friendship has taught me to be more honest with myself, my relationships, my clients, and my art. I will also confess that they have singlehandedly inspired me to pursue my desire to document love and intimacy in its infinite form, manifesting in an exclusive line of Intimate Couples Portraits I’ve begun to offer within the past year. I feel so grateful to have been a part of their journey and was absolutely ecstatic when they invited me to join them in Mexico for their wedding and honeymoon this March. We kicked off our trip catching up in Playa del Carmen over pina coladas and continued on to a magical eco-resort of Playa Azul in Tulum, where I photographed them in the simple luxury of their ocean-front cabana. I’m so grateful they’ve allowed me to share some of these timeless moments with you – we hope these images will inspire other couples in love to get curious and inspired to share a similar experience… To remind each other that on the days they don’t like each other … that they love each other.

We invite you to look past the daring. Enjoy.

Laura Hana - It says a lot about the photographer who can take these kinds of intimate images and how comfortable your clients are with you. Love the colour and intensity in no. 4!

Ste[h - Katya, these are beautiful. Truly. Not only because of the gorgeous angles, composition, and subjects…but also because of the big picture. The fact that they were willing to share their love with us, express it to you in this way, and inspire others. Its brave and wonderful. About a year ago I was talking to Shaun about how special it would be to do an intimate photography session with a couple, how wonderful it could be for the couple, and also all the artistic possibilities for the photographer. I knew I would need to do more work on myself first to be truly comfortable enough and talented enough to try this..Its now inspired me to be as brave as you are. You’ve ‘Shaken my world gently’. Thank you.
